Kane Waselenchuk successfully defended his title on Sunday at the Motorola World Racquetball Championships in Denver - the first tournament of the 2009-2010 International Racquetball Tour (IRT) season. Waselenchuk defeated Jack Huczek, 11-3, 5-11, 11-7, 11-9.

Waselenchuk's victory is his seventh in a row dating back to January. Also he hasn't lost to Huczek since April 2006, when Huczek defeated him at the Virginia Open.

The matches were played outdoors on the all Lucite court, which was set up in downtown Denver.

The Motorola World Racquetball Championships matches were streamed live over the web at www.irtnetwork.com and will be archived there for future viewing. The plan is to do that for all the IRT main events - Tier 1 and Grand Slam - throughout the 2009-2010 season.
